A real Antinomian in the sight of God, is one who _holds the truth in unrighteousness_, who has Gospel notions in his head but no grace in his heart: he is one that makes a profession of Christ Jesus, but was never purged by his blood, renewed by his spirit, nor saved by his power. With him _carnal ease_ passes for _Gospel peace_; _a natural assent_ of the mind for faith; _insensibility_ for _liberty_; and _daring presumption_ for the _grace of assurance_. He is alive without the law, the sentence of the _moral law_ having never been sent home to him. The _law_ of _faith_ was never sealed _on_ him; the _law_ of _truth_ was never received _by_ him; nor the _law_ of _liberty_ proclaimed _to_ him.—He was never arraigned at, nor taken from, the _throne_ of _judgment_—He was never justified at the _throne_ of _grace_, nor acquitted at the _bar_ of _equity_.—The tremendous attribute of righteousness was never _seen_ or felt _by_ him; the righteousness of the law was never fulfilled _in_ him; the righteousness of the law was never fulfilled _by_ him; the righteousness of faith was never imputed _to_ him; nor the _fruits_ of righteousness brought forth _by_ him. He is an enemy to the power of God, to the experience of the just and to every minister of the spirit; and is in union with none but hypocrites, whose uniting ties are _the gall of bitterness and the bonds of iniquity_. He is one that often changes his opinions, but was never changed in heart; he turns to many sects and parties, but never turns to God. In word he is false to Satan, in _heart_ he is false to God: false to Satan by uttering truth, and false to God by a false profession. He is a false reprover in the world, and in the household of faith a false brother. He is a child of Satan in the congregation of dissemblers, and a bastard in the congregation of the righteous. By mouth he contends for a covenant that cannot save him, and in heart he hates the covenant that can. His head is at mount Calvary, his heart and soul at mount Sinia. He is a pharisee at Horeb, and a hypocrite in Zion; he is a transgressor of the law of works, and a rebel to the law of faith; a sinner by the ministry of the letter, and an unbeliever by the ministry of the spirit. As a _wicked servant_ he is _cursed_ by the _eternal law_; and as an _infidel_ he is _damned_ by the everlasting gospel: and this is a real antinomian in the sight of God.
